If your younger self time traveled here, what would surprise him?

2015 seemed eons away when I was a kid watching Back to the Future II. What's normal now that your younger self would be surprised by? Anything you would have thought was around for all time that faded away?
Normal now that surprises me:
tattoos on seemingly regular people
How people dress so dumpy or kid-like (jeans, shorts, t-shirts on men to go out for dinner, women with big muffin tops hanging over their pants)
I also assumed the ozone layer & rain forests would be gone by now.
Something I thought would be here forever that seems to have disappeared:
The desire to appear wealthy. As a kid, my sister and I had 2-3 expensive outfits that we wore at least weekly. Now a lot of kids (and adults) seem to be trying to dress as backwoods country or biker as they can.
Also a little surprised that pay phones went away as quickly as they did.

Eh, I think you are thinking of one subset of people.
Look at how many broke arse women are walking around with Coach and Michael Kors.. almost to the point where their attempts to look wealthy are making the item itself less sought after.

He'd be shocked by the lack of hoverboards, of course!

I think this is the answer for all the males. None of them would give two shits about the absence of pay phones or the current rate of global deforestation.
Maybe a small tear shed for the lack of flying cars, though I think anybody with an IQ over 50 figured that wouldn't be happening in the 25 year period between 1990-2015 anyway.
